Although you don’t necessarily have to use anything elastic or stretchy for your corset string, a stretchy lace or cord does make a fantastic feature for this project. It will enable you to simply slide your pre-tied bracelet onto your wrist instead of having someone help you tie the bow after you’ve put the bracelet on.

Other thoughts: I recommend choosing a lacing color that will contrast with your leather.

Thank you very much for this tutorial, Rena. I bought a pair of cinnamon-coloured suede pants at a thrift store a while ago because I loved the material (not to wear), and this would be a great project for that. And I do love my ribbons and trims (you know I love the lime green one you made!), so I can see myself making these, and they may do well somewhere where I sell. Just gotta getta puncher.
